I came across this site recently. I`m 69 years old, and you have re-ignited an interest in classic rock tunes. Time to pull out my 67 Gibson SG and relive the enjoyment of yesteryear! Subscribed from Ontario Canada.
Just stumbled up this video and have to say that beyond the simple demonstration of progressions used in these classics, the most important element in every one of them is the ability to weave melody around these simple structures. Music does not have to be complicated to be great. In fact, it is often quite the opposite. I wish people these days spent more time on melody and far less time trying to impress their friends with shredding.
Paranoid by Black Sabbath was my main inspiration to start learning guitar. A guitarist played it at a school talent show and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Thanks Andy.
These bring back a lot of memories. One small point: the Paranoid intro is played with the low E string open. Toni did this often to get a fatter sound because there was no other guitar to fill that role.
I think your video is fantastic for beginners. It gives them confidence to keep at it.many people are so intimidated by the big picture.once you can play easy , clean chords,they realize you don't have to go up against blackmore, or clapton ,It sounds good and it's fun! Most rock groups don't use many chords,as this video demonstrates When you increase your confidence , you can learn the links played in the solos.Not everyone can be famous,or it wouldn't be difficult! Most people that can play creatively on solos have played a minimum of 8 years of daily learning. I got signed at 18,quit high school and never looked back. I am 71 and still play my 81 les paul or my new sg!!!
Use a nice guitar through a nice amp, with the amp being the most important bit imho. I do who where to put the gain in this video pretty clear too, no?
Hey Andy…there’s one you could’ve added to the list that has both acoustic and electric parts and I believe there’s just four chords….Boston, “More Than a Feeling”…or Skynyrd’s, “Sweet Home Alabama”. Oh and lest I forget, ZZ Top’s, “La Grange”.
Jim Croce , John Prine, Cat Stevens, Argent , Kristopherson , Bad Company,Ted Nugent. Good video. I was throwing out first ones popped into the addled brain
Hey Andy, glad the RUclips algorithms lead me to your channel. I thumbs up and subscribe. I think mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon might fall into that category. I guess it might depend on the way you play it. I was a teenager in the 70s so I’m old. But I clearly remember trying to play fins by Jimmy Buffett and the first part sounded like the first verse of mother and Child Reunion. So I switched and learned to play mother and child reunion instead… One of the first songs I figured out without looking at any music. Nice work, Andy cannot wait to check out some of your other videos.
Let's see you play Harry Chapin! Not just 'Cat's In The Cradle' because musically, it's probably his easiest song. Chapin used some crazy chords. He was an incredibly underrated singer / songwriter.
The trouble with illustrating Eagle’s, songs is copyright! … they not only want your first born, but their lawyers will actually come to your home and steal away your 2nd and 3rd born too! … they are ruthless, and so will you be, if you have a daughter named Ruth!😂
@@zingbopdeluxEagles are my favorite band of all time, and looking back at it they're actually what got me into 70s and eventually 60s music which led to me getting a guitar. But yeah... don't cover Eagles songs on RUclips. Don Henley will probably pay off the FBI to raid your house. One day you'll wake up and see dozens of jacked men in white vans surround your house 😂
You could have made this whole video on the Velvet Underground. They made their career on 3 and 4 chord songs. It's not about being complicated, it's how you play it!
Andy you kill that riff absolutely classic pink Floyd very clean from those chords I love it my request hit of led zeppelin good times bad times is in the 60s you missed that one out mate
Hey Andy, love everything you do! Also was wondering what are the strings you use on your acoustic? Keep delivering awesome tutorials, you've genuinely helped us all ALOT❤
hello I just fitted some D'Addario Super lights to my Yamaha LL16 acoustic the G string is unwound sounds lightweight I am going back to D'Addario Extra lights [G string is wound] Good luck keep picking try a few brands and choose your preference ✌
Add 3 guitarists, 2 of whom know how to do the solos correctly, or don't bother, oh yeah, and one needs to be really good on slide, that 3rd guitarist and the bass player need to know all the rhythmic changes. This post by the organisation against bad covers.
Cool video, but I feel that I have to point out that your timing and your tempo varied a bit... I hate to be "that guy" but I feel it's worth mentioning considering that a lot of the people who will be learning from this will be beginners... I don't know about you, but one of the biggest struggles for my students was timing and variations/fluctuations in tempo... I figured it'd be a good idea to make a point of letting your students/ viewers know that they should pay close attention to timing and rhythm. Other than that the video was great. You're likable and you have a good vibe, and easy-going style of teaching.

The Eagles? Any of their songs, they ROCK!!!

Brilliant👍
Great lesson Andy, like all your lessons. What model Stratocaster is that? Is that American Standard Strat?
Capo 3 or 4 on Go Your Own Way? Said one and used another.. played it on 3 so that’s it I assume. Thanks
Great lessons!!
You could have made this whole video on the Velvet Underground. They made their career on 3 and 4 chord songs. It's not about being complicated, it's how you play it!
Hi Andy, cool lesson! You get a great sound out of the Strat…it looks like a 62 AVRI, but knowing you it probably isn’t?
thank you young man
yes I'd like to learn these with the music
Brilliant 👏💯🙋♂️
Great and Thanx :)
Cheers fella
Omg!! I love AC.DC
Only so many notes 🎶 Thank you Andy
Time you did Sylvia by Focus beautiful
For fleetwood Mac you said “capo on 4th” then played with capo at the 3rd.
I saw that too. 😂
God forbid he should make a mistake, how about enjoy the free content and just adjust very slight mistakes on your own, quit bitching
Hi Andy
thanks for posting

The Jean Genie would be a great addition. ☺️☺️👨🎤
Nice job there andy😎🎸👍
Wow! Thanks for doing the 70's! I think I may have asked for that in comments, but you were probably planning to do this anyway! :)
Thanks for suggesting it! Always good to know I'm on the right track ✌️
I love the strumming for knocking on heaven door, can you send me the pattern

Hi Andy, could have put in Pretty Vacant, best opening riff ever.
Hey Andy, love everything you do! Also was wondering what are the strings you use on your acoustic? Keep delivering awesome tutorials, you've genuinely helped us all ALOT❤
I use Ernie Ball Earthwood phosphor bronze 12s 👍
hello
I just fitted some D'Addario Super lights to my Yamaha LL16 acoustic
the G string is unwound
sounds lightweight
I am going back to D'Addario Extra lights [G string is wound]
Good luck
keep picking
try a few brands and choose your preference ✌
Hi Andy would you please tell me the model Faith Guitar you play, it’s sound really nice
Add a fifth chord for Freebird! Love that Highway made the list.
Add 3 guitarists, 2 of whom know how to do the solos correctly, or don't bother, oh yeah, and one needs to be really good on slide, that 3rd guitarist and the bass player need to know all the rhythmic changes. This post by the organisation against bad covers.

We know you meant capo on 3rd!😊
I hope so! 😂

Hey Andy Crowley. What guage is that? I'm using Eilxir 9's and they are a bit too tinny.
What model of guitar do you play?
🧐 Andy can shred 👍🏻
